301 Redirects " What It Is & When To Use It

A 301 Redirect is a HTTP status code (send out by the web server) that is used to communicate to software (browsers, crawlers) and search engines that the original page that is trying to be accessed has been moved permanently to a new webpage. When your browser receives this code it will automatically go to the new URL which is mentioned together with the 301 status code.

Canonical Attribute " What It Is & When To Use It

First and foremost, the Canonical Attribute is not a redirect. A rel="canonical" attribute will not redirect a visitor to the new URL, instead it is used as a signal for search engines to indicate which page to index in the search results when similar or duplicated content appears within a website.

I saw Canonical tag and 301 are not related to each other.
In the field of SEO, the canonical tag helps Google know the article on your website is not copy, and it should be found in search results website.

This card must be inserted at the beginning of the URL, and when you use this card you should consider because it appears more cards on your website, it will cause not a good thing for Google sites being underestimated.

But in case you do not have to deal with the star with the same article, you use this card to make sure you do not get fined by Google duplicate content errors on the page.

301 redirect:
Move website to a new address with a similar structure (retaining most content), but can be expanded and better SEO.
To accelerate the landing sites (Money site) by the relevant site content.
